Chanah

From Anne to Anna and Hannah alike, all roads, or should we say names, lead back to Chanah. A more authentic Hebrew variant of Chana, Chanah shares its roots with these popular names. This beautiful name originates from the Hebrew element hanan, meaning "to be gracious" or "God has favored me." Chanah is especially meaningful if baby's arrival was long-awaited, as it recalls the story of Hannah in the Old Testament, who, after believing herself barren, prayed for a child and was blessed with a son, Samuel. Like Hannah, you too will be blessed to call your little Chanah your very own!
